Early (Prologist)

A torrent of orange color covered the sky, the breeze felt soft on the skin. This afternoon felt very quiet without the jokes of the neighborhood children as usual.

"Assalamualaikum," exclaimed the man who wore a red shirt when he reached the yard of the house with a modern feel. Shortly after that, the sound of the key was played

"Oh mas Nanda, find who's mas?" jihan asked, the girl who just came out of the mansion.

The man known as Nanda smiled, "look for Milla mba, there's no one?" tannya

"Oh, Milla. It's in the room. Come on in, sit down first" said Jihan and then opened the door wider to let Nanda into the house, "just a moment, Millanya I'll call you first,"

Nanda smiled awkwardly at Jihan's words and then he sat his butt on the sofa chair, shortly after, the sound of someone coming down the stairs. Making Nanda turn her head 90° her smile appeared when she saw the girl she liked coming down

"So, why play?" Milla tilted her head.

"Aren't you able to play at your girlfriend's place?" Nanda's words made Milla shake her head

"Not that, it's late afternoon, almost magrib too. It's not good in the neighbors, it's good to play with the rest of the mall," Milla set her foot on the sofa, the 20-year-old girl looked cute while wearing a keroppi-patterned nightgown suit

"Just like Mil, the words of a neighbor who never really existed," Nanda smiled and then brought her body closer to Milla. Milla who was a little uncomfortable also seemed to be away from the man who had the status of her lover

"Why so far away Mill?" Nanda's tone rose when asking a question made Milla flinch a little

"Some of you get whipped because you want to kiss, right?" Milla further distanced her body, making Nanda cluck

"That's a big mill, just kiss the cheek too! We've been dating for almost 1 year, just holding hands!" Nanda's voice did not accept

"You still have gini mending disperse!" Excitingly, the sound of whispering again sounded from the direction of the man who was his lover

"The next month my parents will go home, after that I will immediately apply for you," Nanda pulled Milla's hand to return to sit in the position earlier

Milla just silently did not respond to Nanda's words until a while later Nanda again opened her voice, "Yes, I just went home. This magrib is the case,"

Milla nodded, a little surprised by the words spoken by the man who served his status as his lover. "If that's how I go home first" he said again and stood up, walking away to the exit followed by Milla behind him

"Be careful" said Mila when she saw Nanda starting her bike. Nanda smiled and started running his motorbike leaving the luxurious residence of Milla

"Mill," called out a voice from behind making Mila turn her head. Looks like the man who almost reached the age of half a century in the middle walked over to him

"Your boyfriend?" As she asked, Milla looked dumbfounded at her father who suddenly appeared, "Mill?" Call Johan-father Milla- once again

"Yes pah," Milla stuttered slightly at the beginning of the sentence. Johan nodded briefly then walked away leaving the confused Milla.
